re: People that bring their dogs to Home Depot

Taking them to the home improvement store doesn’t bother me, but a damn animal doesn’t belong in a grocery store unless it’s a real service animal.

People that bring their dogs to Home Depot

Is this a thing? I actually may hate people who do that more than people who let dogs sit in their laps while driving a fricking car.

We’re here at the Texas Pinball Festival in a hotel convention center. Place is packed with people and machines. A couple walked in with 2 full sized poodles…everyone was tripping over them while the couple played pinball…it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen…

Truly afraid of? Nothing.

Dogs are not sanitary, they stick their noses in one another's asses as a form of greeting. That same nose then going around nudging the fricking produce makes no sense.

I own a lab and like dogs, there are simply some places dogs do not belong, if you are the person who drags your dog to a store you are rude!

I use my dog to find the rare and endangered species known as the HomeDepot employee.

I agree. Even in France not allowed in grocery stores.

My local ACE operator has his German Shorthair at the store every day.

I shop there because he’s such a good boy.

No doubt, I am not a very nice person. My labs however, are better behaved than 100% of the children and about 80% of the adults you come in contact with.

So i dispatched my dobermann Aristotle along with one my, err, associates today for a trip to home depot. Concrete, an electric saw and large trash bags were purchased and paid for with cash.

Report:

So my henchman, who we’ll call Guillermo, set off to HD around 11 am. He was driving my lifted, blacked out and bulletproof Ford F350. Aristotle seemed keen on the environment. As trained, he walked in lockstep at Guillermo’s side as the products were secured. Everything was fine. Then…catastrophe! A female greyhound captured his attention. In a tizzy, Guillermo sent out a distress call. As he pursued Aristotle, who pursued this sprightly bitch, he put me on FaceTime.  “Aristotle , boy. Stand down, i say!” I bellowed into my new iPhone. “Assume your heel position, post haste!” Fortunately the dog scooted through the sliding doors of the garden center behind its owner whilst Aristotle was repelled by his natural distaste for the scent of fertilizer. Oh glorious granules! Guillermo was able to secure the leash and off they went, returning to dispose of an unfortunate mess that occurred on my sprawling property, but i digress. Not sure we’ll be doing that again! Woosh!

Even if every dog was as well behaved as your labs (or mine which every dog I have ever owned is 100% obedience trained), they still do not belong in a damn grocery store.
